  1. Sign forms & Non-Compete Agreement

    Non-compete You don't want a non-compete - you want a non-disclosure agreement. Those are VERY enforceable as the limitations are explicitly spelled out in the agreement. i.e. If I bring you work from X company - you are not to tell anyone outside of immediate need to know or need to produce...
  2. PVC Sign frames

    Okay, Next question... Anyone got a resource for PVC component sign frames for exterior use that will take a 1/2" thick panel? Should include posts, caps, rails and brackets. I did a search here and only got back two threads and one was of an A-frame and the others were for temporary use...
  3. .020 styrene

    The labels will need to have rounded corners. I have sent this out to Georgia Printco for quote. Another wholesale supplier has quoted $1.50 per sq. ft. just to laminate the adhesive on back of full sheets - total of $4088 just to laminate. Kiss cut on the icut machine is probably the best...
  4. .020 styrene

    Anyone got any suggestions to put double-sided adhesive on the back of .020 white styrene 4x8 sheets and then cut printed sheet to indivdual pieces with adhesive and paper backing intact? Total job will be 75 sheets of styrene and am not looking forward to laminating that many sheets with...
  5. Thanks in advance

    Looking for what the font is for the word "Soda" I used to be pretty good at identifying fonts - now there are just too many. Of course, I miss Illustrator 88, too.

    What?! Please tell me that you don't think that I believe Al Gore invented the internet? Sarcasm...
  8. Various Sign Making Questions

    Help? Holy crap! Would someone please explain to me - LIKE I AM A NEWBIE - just what the Newbie section of the forum is for if not for novices to ask questions? If this were just 20 short years ago before Al Gore invented the internet and someone like Melissa had a genuine desire to learn...
  9. Jetrix 2513RQ and CET XPress FK512

    Ben, Yeah, you gotta love the world of finance these days. I could pay cash for the printer, but am trying to maintain a strong cash position for the immediate future and no one is willing to work with you these days. We'll see what happens. SM
  10. Prices on website?

    I attended the recent FESPA conference and this was one of the discussions. We had a print buyer there who liked the idea of having prices listed on the website, but most shop owners are not too keen on the idea since its pretty easy to get executed on a job because someone doesn't like the...
  11. Jetrix 2513RQ and CET XPress FK512

    Benjakes, Tell Dave I said hello. I think you will be pleased with that printer. Its a simple design and easy to use - its a printer designed by printers. Good luck, Sean
  12. Jetrix 2513RQ and CET XPress FK512

    Spectra Q-class heads were the first generation grayscale heads, but for some reason others pulled them from their designs due to continual clogging issues. Don't see alot of Xaar heads out there right now, too. To be fair - there are a gajillion things that can cause head clogging - but...

    Am in discussions with Oldham (master distributor) about the Jetrix. Very well built machine, but they have no clue how to market or sell this thing in the US. Chose the wrong distributor and are pretty proud of asking price. I like the design and the prints looked great. Neat thing is the...
  14. Wholesale providers

    Just a polling of opinions from those of you that utilize these services... What are the attributes that you look for when searching and settling on a wholesale print provider. I don't need individual recommendations - such as Merritt - I know the merchants here and Merritt has a solid...
  15. Using copyrighted songs in videos for your business..

    From a voice with experience... I wrote the words to a Cub Scout song called "Do Your Best" to the tune of "Be Our Guest" from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. One of our parents posted it on YouTube and it took about three months for our Pack to get the first lawyer letter. The video was pulled...
  16. Thoughts about Mentoring newbies...

    Newbie I have to agree with Fred. I have been in graphic arts industries from screenprint and offset litho and now into digital inkjet for over 10 years. I have a very good relationship with a nice network of varying print providers in the general Charlotte area. I have to agree, to a point...
  17. uv ink adhesion?

    Melamine For most UV ink sets - Melamine is a no-go. Lack of surface tension for inks to adhere to. Only machine/ink combo I can think that might be successful would be a Durst Rho 600 or newer. Don't think there is any great new ink set coming from the major ink boys to address this - but you...
  18. uv ink adhesion?

    Also be aware that - like file size vs. resolution of scanned images - you can get one thing but will sacrifice another. In this case - there is no ONE UV ink that will print, adhere, be flexible, withstand cutting AND give accurate color. You need to decide what key materials you will be...
  19. Questions

    Don't know if anyone will find this useful, but I am going to try to attach a series of questions I bridled together to ask any manufacturer before buying a UV printer. I put it together when I worked for DuPont selling Cromaprint 22Uv systems. Pulled the info from a bunch of sources and...
  20. What to buy?

    UV printer I used to sell Cromaprint 22UV systems for DuPont here in the Southeast. One of my jobs before moving into sales was as Technical Support Manager and we did alot of research on EVERY machine in the field at the time. I have a chart that breaks down every single printer characteristic...
